Peel gives her character the time she needs to cope and to grow as a person.
Mimsy is my favorite! She's the comic relief to the pain Samantha is experiencing. Peel takes the time to develop all the characters! The Delaney family is HILARIOUS but is not without issues. The new love interest isn't perfect, either, he, too makes mistakes. Even the ex turns out to be a complex character, not the vilified norm that sometimes happens. Peel has written a real person, not some perfect saintly character. The story of Samantha and her feelings of betrayal and anger and her indignation over her ex ignoring their son are so human and raw. Story: 5.5 stars (yes, this book is that good!) Jennifer Peel doesn't disappoint in this touching, humorous and romantic story. Now Samantha must decide if she should get back on the field or if she prefers the sidelines. While Samantha is doing her best to learn and even make up some of the rules of single life and being a semi-celebrity, Reed comes in and changes the game. But, Samantha isn't keen on dating anyone, much less a younger man that used to booby trap her bedroom with firecrackers. Unbeknownst to Samantha, Reed has harbored a crush for his old babysitter all these years.
To make matters more interesting, her younger brother's best friend, Reed Cassidy, who was a thorn in Samantha's adolescent side, moves back to town as the new head football coach for her son's high school team. When the post goes viral, she finds herself with a new title, The Sidelined Wife, and an unbelievable following. While trying to figure out who Samantha Decker is, she writes what she thinks is the final post on her blog, announcing her divorce. But one conversation later, heard through his Bluetooth, and Samantha is changing her last name. Samantha Higgins never thought driving her husband's car would forever change her life. She's getting back in the game, one blog post at a time.
